I thought a personal post was way overdue, so here it is :). Fist off I again want to thank you all for your continued support. If it wasnt for all of you sharing what I do, I wouldn't have been able to reach all the families I have already written names for. Please continue to share this blog and my facebook page with other bereaved parents so that I can continue to share my humble gift with them.

Also, please check out the buttons of blogs/pages I have listed to the right. I am always adding more buttons that have touching tributes and/or fantastic resources. Feel free to share these as well. The newest button to be added is "In His Name." This is a fantastic page made my one of my dear friends who sadly lost her little boy to SIDS. She has created this page as a support page with valuable information and resources for any parent that has lost a child to SIDS/SUID. Click the button below to check out her page:
I also wanted to update that all the names that were previously in waiting have been posted. I believe there is one name in the queue right now that was requested earlier this week. So if you have made a previous request and have not seen it posted, then I did not receive it.

I leave you with a quote I heard earlier in the week and it stuck with me. I created a little photo to go along with it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Lucas RyanSeptember 22, 1999 ~ March 19, 2000We love & miss you so much angel boy..xoxo,Your FamilyWhen night time comes and the sun goes down,
the memories of you come out to play.
It quite now and everyone's asleep,
but I keep thinking about that day.

The day you left this world behind,
to be Cancer free and fly so high.
The memories of me holding you,
and watching until the finale goodbye.

Seeing you take your very last breath,
and praying for your little chest to rise.
Finally knowing this is the end,
there's no more shinning of your beautiful eyes.

You live above the stars & moon,
in Heaven's kingdom in the sky.
Our angel boy you fought so brave,
fly sweet baby fly so high.

Your battle has ended; the Cancer is gone.
Your Cancer free & fully healed.
We wish your stay was so much longer,
but God needed you & your fate was sealed.

We miss you Lucas; its been almost 11 years,
The pain doesn't get easy and time doesn't heal.
The tear's still shed and our hearts still break,
Sometimes this life just feels so unreal.

And I only counted the comments that were entries (not random comments). I used random.org to choose a number between 1 and 60. The number chosen is.....

That would be Antoinette! Congrats Ann!!! And thank you all for your participation!
